Libraries that will close in September if no one comes forward to run them:

Porlock

Highbridge

Watchet

Sunningdale

Bishop’s Lydeard

Bruton

The catch for all libraries that stay open – including those not previously threatened with closure, like Taunton, Bridgwater and Yeovil – is that opening hours will cut by around 20% Library users will also be asked to make voluntary donations amounting to £155,000 over three years to help fund the library service.
